The Sabin Star

Making sure each child is seen and heard is something that Sabin staff pride themselves on. That means knowing your child, their needs, their methods of communicating their needs, and genuinely listening and hearing what your child shares. When a child feels seen and heard and recognized for who they are they begin to trust and grow as learners and citizens of an important community.

But that is not enough.

You are the caregiver and we are your co-parent and support. We want your needs to be known and addressed and the best way to do that is through communicating. Please feel free to email your child's teacher with what's going well, what you and your family may need and anything else that helps us understand your child and family better. We have lots of support services as well and you can connect you with our school counselor, Erika Moller emoller1@pps.net, and social worker, Janessa Willie jwillie@pps.net. As your school administrators we are also here for you. Assistant principal Katy Vawter, kvawter@pps.net. I am also available via email, Michael Diltz, mdiltz@pps.net and cell phone or text at (971) 378-9597. Finally, you can reach our office at (503) 916-6181.

We value your partnership with us and want you to feel connected to our school and community. Reach out. We are here for you and your family.

Sabin is not a community without you and your input. We use the information from this survey to drive change, reflection and improvement school-wide. We hope you will consider taking time to share your feedback on how we are doing for your student, your family and our community.

Our district values your feedback! On Monday, you should receive an email from Panorama asking you to take a brief survey to tell us about your experience with PPS and Sabin. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think.

The survey window will begin on May 6th and close on May 31st. Your family will be able to take the survey online at home at your earliest convenience. If you do not receive an email with a link to the survey , you can go to the following link to take the survey:
